These readings are for your daily prayer and Scripture reading for this
season of Lent. They are chosen to compliment the readings for each
Sunday. I believe that any time you read Scripture, the Holy Spirit can
speak to you, but I think you will get the most out of these Scripture
readings if you read them thinking about Sunday’s Scripture readings,
and if you read as many as possible.
These are the readings that we will use for our daily telephone prayers
at noon (you can find the text of the daily prayer hereTo participate call 218-632-0550 and enter Access Code 302445#). If you are praying on your own, you will know that you are
still reading in unity with others.

2 Corinthians 3:4-11

4Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, 6who
has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of letter
but of spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.7Now
if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stone tablets, came in
glory so that the people of Israel could not gaze at Moses' face
because of the glory of his face, a glory now set aside, 8how much more will the ministry of the Spirit come in glory? 9For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, much more does the ministry of justification abound in glory! 10Indeed, what once had glory has lost its glory because of the greater glory; 11for if what was set aside came through glory, much more has the permanent come in glory!

About Kindred

Kindred is a way of life. It’s not something you “go to,” it’s something you are a part of.

We believe that God is on the move in Montrose, in the greater Houston area, and beyond. We want to join in. It’s that simple. The implications of following Jesus are complex, but the church doesn’t have to be complicated. We get to join God in the creation of a community that equips and empowers people to love as we have been loved, to recognize the divine in the daily, and to be a light for justice and peace in our sacred city.

We are a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and we are a “Reconciling in Christ” community (a formal way of saying that people of all races, genders, gender identities, abilities, sexual orientations, fashion sense, and political leanings are not only welcome, but embraced).
